Has anyone not received the iPads yet? We are still waiting!
Sams Share
If you quit in February will you still get all of the Sams share. We get ours in March.
Membership Ipads
This is a total joke. It does not take 46 seconds to sign up a member. There so many things u have to go thru to sign up a member. Also doing refunds on the iPads is a joke too. Who ever came up with this concept of being faster at the membership... — read more

Night Crew not getting severance offer?
Was told possibly night crew wouldn't get severance offer because it's same job just change in hours. Anyone know if this is true? The clubs that changed already, did they get severance? If so shouldn't they have to offer it to everyone? Our vendors... — read more

The e-commerce sales result and the supply chain could dictate which clubs close
First of all, I want to say that I have no info on this, haven't even heard a rumor regarding this and this just some of my logic talking. We’ve witnessed that it’s not impossible for a club to close and then be turned into a distribution center for... — read more
Store Closings 2019
I work overnight in receiving and a vendor told me last week 2 stores in my state are closing. I don’t know how true this is but it’s possible. I’m also not holding my breath on there still being an overnight crew for much longer. I give it a month... — read more
Third Party Optical
I was told that Optical is going to a third part on February 1st from a member of upper management...but they couldn’t tell me which company. Does anyone know who it will be for certain?

Bonus
Has anyone heard we might be getting quarterly bonus instead of one a year?
The cashierless program couldn’t survive at Walmart, there is no reason why it could survive at Sam’s
I understand WM’s urge to technically advance its stores and god knows Sam’s has been treated like a playground for WM, but at this point, these things just make it more difficult for customers to shop, not to mention the possibility that it opens... — read more

They really need to let us have a second overnight lead.
Pretty terrible. Productivity for the night crew has gone down since they're always being stopped for one thing or another. If a truck comes and there's no more room on the dock, it takes 3 hours to unload and get everything up in the steel, wasting... — read more
Night crew
Have any clubs switched over to the new schedule yet? Curious to see how it's working out
No February Demos?
Found out that at my club, there are no demos scheduled for February at all. Anyone else experiencing this? Club in Northeast
That’s messed up
I’m laughing because we were all at the edge of our seats waiting on news today. This company will announce changes soon. But sure they are trying to keep their reputation in mind. They couldn’t allow associates to pull up to a closed store 2 years... — read more
Any stores closing.
We had two Big Dog’s visitors the last two day. My GM didn’t even care how our marketing teams did for blitz yesterday. All this seem very odd to me. Anyone have a clue yet?

Can you believe it....
Can you believe it, over a year ago now the company announced the closure of over 60 clubs AND in a matter of a few day, let some of the most talented Club Managers go. I obviously cannot speak for everybody, but most of the people that lost jobs... — read more
Who's eligible for a severance when a club closes?
I know full timers are, but what about hourly? Especially those who have not been with the company for long?
